I believe it was John Wayne who coined the phrase. I suppose it is everyone's worst fear, or at least in the top 5.
Cancer.
Got the word last week, colon cancer. CT scan and blood work thus far hasn't detected any spreading outside of the affected area, but they're still planning a few more tests to make sure.
Surgery for sure is in my future, probably chemo and/or radiation.
Meanwhile my oldest brother (turned 66 in September) lost his pancreas and half his stomach to pancreatic cancer early in the year and it has now spread to his liver and lungs. Time and current medical science is not on his side.
Prayers appreciated.

Prayers sent! I had to search the forum to see how long ago I had colon rectal cancer. lol I found out around Thanksgiving too going into the Holidays. One thing that helped me was since it was the Holidays, eggnog was popular. I would drink a quart a day. Enough sugar that it was like drinking candy bars and the cream coated my stomach. I actually gained my weight back during chemo and radiation after going down to 120 lbs. I hadn't been that weight since junior high. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3142219/4

Well, sh!t.
If they caught it early, colon cancer is one of the ones with high success in fighting.
But well wishes and a supplication to the Almighty to speed your recovery.

Done. Do you know what stage it is? Colon cancer is far easier to treat if it has not metastasized.

Thanks for the encouraging words and prayers.
I second Fitz505's advice: GET A COLONOSCOPY.
I got my first 6 years ago, got a clear bill of health. I only got another recently because of changes in my bowel habits.
That's another sign you need to watch out for. If things change from your normal routine for weeks on end, see a doctor.
